For example, if there's a perfect attendance badge, students could just write in the document "Check your attendance roster" for me, the teacher. I'm am still befuddled by the issue of students awarding each other badges.

The bus that takes them back to the border is called the "bus of tears." Obama has requested for money from Congress, and a portion of it will be used to increase deportations before migrants even reach the border.

Bush administration, is the executive director of the American Principles Project's Latino Partnership. He proposes: "To stem the tide of people – adults and children – trying to illegally enter the U.S., we must create a guest worker program that is easy for employers to use and fully responds to the demands of our labor market. This will facilitate a circular flow, allowing migrants to come to work, return to their home country to be with their families and then re-enter legally when it's time to begin working again."

According to the United Nations, 58% of these child migrants cited violence as one key reason why they fled. According to Héctor Silva Avalos, a Salvadoran author and journalist, Honduras is one of the most dangerous countries in the world.

One question they might ask is how many people the child has known who has died. Of these, how many were murdered? Is it appropriate for teachers to ask these questions? In what forum?
